LaTeX was fine - I was a little disappointed that after decades of popularity there was still not even the simplest wysiwyg apps for it.
Yeah - it's amazing that nobody has thought of writing one.
Most of your problems take just a tiny little bit of effort to overcome.
Excel beats the ever-loving crap out of Kspread.

None of the software works well together - Mozilla and Konq have no idea what software to launch when you download a file.
Yeah. If you're that fussed, tell Mozilla what to use by setting the mime type actions under preferences.
And why do I need to be root to burn a disk? Or to install the simplest apps?
That's called security. And if you really want, you can give your user the rights to do those things.
Rather than sitting around going "bitch, bitch, bitch, Linux doesn't work like Windows", why don't you take your questions to google and get the solutions.
If even that is too much effort for you, stay with Windows. Enjoy MyDoom.
Looks can be deceiving. Or CAN they?
